That has to be bizarre though. If they leave the author's original content and just insert(ha!) the erotic scenes in where they see fit. You are just reading along to Conan Doyle's Sherlock stories and all of a sudden "He took his tallywhacker in hand..."

WTF is it with this SoG fad? Seriously are you people so f*cking sexually primitive and stupid that you act like a pair of teenage boys who snuck dads Hustler out of the house and are making boner jokes about it all while you turn the pages.

I bought the entire series for my wife. Niether one of us could make it through the 1st third of the first book before we were like, "pffft... What a flaming pile of crap."

I can oly imagine that most people's sex lives are very boring. Because there was nothing particularly interesting in that book to us.

As a final review, all I can really say is that there is NO STORY whatsoever. It's all about some virgin getting taken advantage of by a sexual devient. Nothing else happensl. I mean, even Twlight had a story to go along with all the sexual angst.

"Captain Ahab plunged his harpoon into the exposed flank of Moby Dick, harder, and harder, over and over again. "I Stab at thee." he said, through half-closed grey eyes. "From hell's heart." Another plunge of his mighty harpoon. "I stab at thee". "

bugmn99:suthrnrunt: now give me some tale tale heart with graphic sex scene up till the point he dismembers someone while farking them in their skill where the pale eye use to be..

Jesus. Think about switching to decaf.

OOOOO they could redo Frankenstein....Dr Farkenstein could create Lady MaggotBush instead of the monster and she could be his undead sex slave.... cept she gets loose and starts giving them men around town a crotch rot so they go after her with "big sticks" and all take turn bludgeoning her around the mouth and forehead and chest

I love them saying that they're writing these stories in the voice of the original author, when they are talking about Victorian era authors who often kept their language clinical and were very reserved even in non-intimate settings? I honestly don't have a problem with Holmes/Watson slash (had a female friend who found it very peculiar that Watson having more than one faily marriage and having to move back in with Holmes), but ghostwrighting Doyle having Watson describe sex with Holmes?

"I felt the glans of Holmes' member penetrate my sphincter, and began to run short of breath. His lean physique was betrayed by the dimensions of his sex."

weirdneighbour:I don't get it, this can't be the first erotic book for women. Whats the big deal?

/know nothing about the book except it is supposedly ultra-erotic//please excuse my ignorance

It's explicit S&M erotica that was originally written as a Twilight fanfic. It's written by a woman for women, and the male lead is the standard rich and powerful mysterious man with a tortured past who slowly teaches this ingénue to be his slave.

The big thing behind its success has been e-books, which has caused an explosion of popularity for erotica and religious books, as it allows people to purchase and read them without people noticing/judging them. It's bad fiction, but it's predictably bad fiction that allows for readers to feel they're taking a walk on the wild side while ultimately reading a plot straight out of any other bodice ripper. Good on the readers if it helps them awaken any sort of repressed desires as far as what they want in the bedroom (anything that helps people have more tolerant views is great), but at the end of the day it's just mainstream porn for women that primarily hits all the same beats every harlequin romance does.

Uhm, you are aware of things such as Fanny Hill, and The Pearl, right?

Yes, I should have been more clear. Writing things in Victorian language to appeal to "modern sensibilities" in the voice of those authors is where they fail. There has always been erotica, but attempts to insert explicit sexual content in the works of authors whose voice avoids Romanticism in their prose would suffer from either being very lifeless or would outright conflict with the original language. Anyone would be able to tell which parts of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies were written by Austen and which were written by the other author, because the language used in the action sequences isn't a match for the feeling of the book even when it tries to use the language of the era. Wuthering Heights you might be able to pull off, but Sherlock Holmes is written in the first person perspective of a retired military man who has contacted Doyle to reprint accounts of his roommate's various cases, and I can't visualize him including passionate trysts into that narrative that tries so hard to leave their relationship as secondary to the details of the particular case at hand.

SirGunslinger:So I guess the Shakespeare's play Titus Andronicus go mainstream?

I'm waiting for people to realize there is centuries worth of sexual content available in the English language for them to peruse; Fanny Hill is just the beginning.

"Wait a minute, wait a goddamn second... You're telling me that there's a 400-year old public domain script involving incest and murder called "'Tis Pity She's a Whore", and the intellectual crowd likes it?"

Wait till they get to the Greek dramas like Odiepus Trilogy and Elektra. Hell, do a porno to various sex scenes of the Bible and make it as accurate as possible?
